Former Eastern Michigan University standout basketball player Abby Wiseman is returning home.
Wiseman, an assistant coach at Central Michigan University for the past two seasons and a four-year letterwinner in basketball at EMU, is in her first year as an assistant women's basketball coach at Eastern Michigan University.
Wiseman joins the EMU staff after spending two seasons as an assistant women’s basketball coach at Mid-American Conference rival CMU. Prior to being named to the Chippewa staff, Wiseman was the captain of the Eagles’ squad her senior season and earned the team hustle and coach’s award that year. She was a member of the EMU Student-Athlete Advisory Council in 2002-03.
Wiseman’s name is securely etched in the EMU record books, earning four letters and finishing her career with 1,244 points, 598 rebounds and 169 assists. She completed her career as the EMU leader in games played (115), free throws made (317) and free throws attempted (496). Wiseman garnered honorable mention All-Mid-American Conference selections in 2002 and 2003.
The St. Johns, Mich. native is one of only seven Eagles to have scored more than 1,000 points and grabbed 500 plus rebounds in their careers in the Green and White uniform.
Wiseman graduated from EMU in 2004 with a bachelor of science degree in secondary education. She was on the Dean’s List five times during her time as an Eagle.
Wiseman’s coaching career began while she was still a player for EMU. She was an assistant coach for the junior varsity girls’ basketball team from 2000-2003 in her hometown of St. Johns, Mich.
Wiseman gained further coaching experience when she served as an assistant for girls’ basketball at Ann Arbor Huron in 2003. She was an assistant for the St. Johns varsity softball team in 2003 and the head coach of the undefeated Ionia junior varsity softball team in 2004.
A two-time all-stater at St. Johns, Wiseman graduated in 1999 after being named "Player of the Year" by the Lansing State Journal. She averaged 18.2 points as a senior.
